'Game of Thrones' season 8 spoilers: A tough time for Dothraki
The Dothraki will have a tough time in “Game of Thrones” season 8. Newly leaked pictures from the production set show the actors playing the horse-riding soldiers filming an action scene. The following article contains spoilers.
Crossing the Narrow Sea was a challenging experience for the Dothraki, but there are tougher times ahead for them. Leaked pictures posted on Watchers on the Wall show the warriors in Danny’s (Emilia Clarke) army experiencing the Westerosi winter for the first time.
The cast and crew have been doing night shoots in the past few days. In the most recent one, they filmed the Dothraki in the snow.
Another set of leaked photos show extras dressed as the Lannister army filming in front of a green screen. Are the Dothraki and the Lannisters fighting each other in the snow? It isn’t clear yet what scenes are being filmed at the moment, but fans can certainly hope to see massive battle scenes next season.
Meanwhile, another report by Watchers on the Wall confirms that the cast and crew will be returning to film in the Roman amphitheatre in the ruins of Itálica, near Santiponce, Seville in Spain. Seville’s Heritage Commission has reportedly approved the filming of the last season at this location.
The amphitheatre was previously used to film scenes related to the dragon pit in season 7. The return to this location means fans will get to see the pit once more. A platform will reportedly be constructed over it, just like before, but it isn’t clear if this will be the stage of another big meeting.
Most of the filming for “Game of Thrones” season 8 has already been completed. Just another three or four months of shoots reportedly remain.
